Chemical and Toxic Waste Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Milwaukee, WI
What is chemical and toxic waste cleanup?
It is the safe containment, removal and disposal of spilled, leaking or abandoned chemicals. Crews identify the substance and wear suitable protective gear. They contain the spill, clean the area and send waste to a facility that can accept it.
What are the health risks of chemical exposure?
